wartime industries
Conflict-era production sectors
Wartime industries are sectors of the economy that produce goods and services for military use during armed conflict.
The term evokes the massive industrial mobilization of World War II, when factories converted from making cars to tanks, and civilian production gave way to weapons, ammunition, and military equipment.
Wartime industries employed millions of women while men were overseas.
